What made Jiang Chu curious was that, for some reason, even though he had beaten the only son of County Official Zhao to death, he did not see County Marshal Zhao come for revenge. When he heard that his son had been killed by a lightning bolt, he was so frightened that he immediately packed up his things and ran away.
He was afraid that Jiang Chu would come knocking and hack him to death. However, this was also good, saving Jiang Chu the trouble of fighting him again and again. It wasn’t easy for him to spend the night in the Jiang Clan. At the very least, he managed to meet all the members of the Jiang Clan.
Jiang Yu had two sons, one daughter, Jiang Mingshan was the eldest, and his youngest son was Jiang Mingli. They had already married and built a family, and his daughter Jiang Huanyun had also gotten married.
The next morning, Jiang Chu took out a hundred taels of gold and passed it to Jiang Yu: Old man, I have to rush to Lin An to do some work. Here, take the silver and there’s a blueprint for you to buy and build a house on, follow this blueprint, I will be back in half a year.
had given him a total of one thousand gold coins after returning to the Bianzhou from the imperial mausoleum. But, Jiang Chu did not give any more to Jiang Yu, firstly, he was afraid that the money would cause more trouble, and secondly, he was afraid that Jiang Yu would think too much into it.
This drawing was drawn by Jiang Chu according to the later generations’ courtyard. There were more than ten people from the Jiang Yu Family squeezed into this small courtyard. It was truly small, so how could Jiang Chu watch the old ancestor so sullenly live?
Jiang Yu was so touched that he started crying. He choked with sobs and said, “Benefactor, I will do as you ask. When you come back, I will return the yard to you.”
Jiang Chu chuckled, but did not explain and waved his hand: “We can talk about this matter later. I have a cultivation method here that the Grand Duke passed down, if I hand it to you now, I can guarantee that you won’t be bullied in the future. You must keep it well, and must not lose anything.
After Jiang Chu finished speaking, he passed a book to Jiang Yu. This book was made from the Sky Worm Silk that Chi Longzi had given to him, and even if it was thousands of years old, it would not rot.
Jiang Yu’s hands trembled as he received the book, only to see three big words written on it, “Qi Gathering Art”, which was written by Jiang Chu according to the original text of the Grand Duke’s inheritance, written in a seal book.
A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Chu’s mind, and he couldn’t help but shiver. Qi Gathering Art? Could this all be what I left behind during Song Dynasty? Heavens, this was too unbelievable.
Sure enough, the old man took out a box from the cupboard and placed the Qi Gathering Art inside. Jiang Chu looked at it and was immediately stunned. Isn’t this the Phoenix Gall? The Grand Master Order was still lying at the bottom of the box.
After Jiang Chu arranged everything, he bid his farewell to Jiang Yu and Jiang Ming Shan, and headed south. He had already made up his mind to seek justice for his big brother, Zhao Kuangyin.
From the Bianzhou to Lin An, the journey was long. Jiang Chu bought a fast horse, went up to Ying Tian Palace in the east, and then went down to Lu Zhou, heading straight to Lin An city. It took them half a month to reach Northface City.
Lin An City was currently located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was promoted to a commander-in-chief. It governed Qiantang, Renhe, Yuhang, Linan, Yuyou, Changhua, Fuyang, Xindeng and Yanzhou.
With a population of more than 200,000, it was the most populous county in Jiangnan. With a prosperous economy, all kinds of industries are relatively developed. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were more than 440 lines of business in Hangzhou, with all kinds of transactions.
Foreign trade is also very developed, with Japan, Gaoli, Persia, food and other more than 50 countries and regions have diplomatic relations and trade.
After the West Lake was built, the scenery became even more charming, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists. The restaurant teahouse, the art school, the service industry and the night market are also flourishing.
That day, Jiang Chu came to Lin An City. He was not in a hurry to find Zhao Gou. The palace was an important place for a country. He didn’t know if there would be any experts guarding the palace. If he went in recklessly with an expert, he wouldn’t be able to get out.
After spending the night at Lin An City, observing the rules of the sentries and the patrolling city guards, Jiang Chu decided to infiltrate the palace the next night to look for the unconscious ruler, Zhao Gou.
The night was dark and windy. When experts were killing people. It was a pity that the moon shone brightly that night. It was almost the same as the day before, and there was someone who could see everything clearly from afar.
However, this would not be difficult for Jiang Chu as he could use the Earth Escape Technique. Jiang Chu arrived outside the moat of the imperial palace, threw a wooden board into the river, then leaped up and stepped on the wood board. After passing through the moat, he plunged head first into the ground and disappeared.
The Southern Song Imperial Palace was simply too big, Jiang Chu walked around the ground for four whole hours yet he still could not find the palace where Zhao Gou was at. Looking at the sky, the moon had already set. It was probably after midnight.
Jiang Chu clenched his teeth, slowly came out from the ground, took out an Invisibility Charm and stuck it on his body, then immediately concealed himself and walked forward.
Before long, he saw a few eunuchs carrying lanterns as they walked over. Jiang Chu extended his hand and slapped a Soul Controlling Talisman on the body of the last eunuch. The eunuch stopped and said in a low voice: “You guys go first, we are going to the latrine.”
After Jiang Chu found out about Zhao Gou’s palace from the eunuch, he followed the eunuch straight away. Not too long after, they arrived at the entrance to a palace. This palace was very tall, and there were six lanterns hanging at the entrance, with four soldiers standing guard below.
Seeing the eunuch walk over, one of the soldiers asked, “Eunuch Wang, the emperor’s family has already fallen asleep. Is there anything wrong with you coming over tonight?”
Before the eunuch could speak, the four soldiers had already fallen to the ground. Jiang Chu was the one who controlled them.
Jiang Chu did not appear on the outside, but directly went through the wall and came to the front of the bed. With a wave of his hand, the bed curtain was lifted, revealing the bed underneath.
Jiang Chu felt a burst of awkwardness when he saw it. There were three people lying on the bed, a man and two women, naked and sleeping soundly.
He glanced at the man. He was in his thirties and had a thin build. He had a long face, sweeping eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a slight hawk, thin lips, and a few strands of beard. He looked rather wretched.
Although he did not look well, his body was filled with a noble aura. Jiang Chu had felt this kind of aura from Zhao Kuangyin’s body. Only, the current Zhao Gou and Zhao Kuangyin did not have any Dharma Idol.
If Zhao Kuangyin was a Flood Dragon from the sky, then Zhao Gou was a Little Flower Snake in the grass.
Zhao Gou laid across the bed, his head resting on one woman’s legs, while his legs were resting on the other woman’s stomach. It was simply the example of a hooligan. How could he be the king of a country?
Jiang Chu was not interested in admiring the beauty of the palace. He still had business to attend to. With a wave of his hand, Zhao Kuangyin, who had summoned his Soul Wood, appeared beside the bed.
A Soul Controlling Talisman appeared in the air, Zhao Gou’s body trembled, and started to have nightmares. In his dreams, he saw the truth behind the candlelight axe image. After a while, Jiang Chu reached out and slapped Zhao Gou’s face.
Only then did Zhao Gou quiver and wake up covered in cold sweat. At the same time, he also kicked out and woke up the two imperial concubines beside him.
When he looked up and saw Zhao Kuangyin standing beside the bed, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. Unfortunately, the sound only circulated within the room, but couldn’t be heard by the people outside.
The two other contestants immediately fainted. Whether it was a real or fake faint, no one knew.
Gao Zong could no longer care about putting on his clothes. He hastily jumped down from the ground and knelt down, paying his respects to the Old Ancestor. He muttered to himself, “Emperor Taizu, everything was done by Taizu, it has nothing to do with me. I hope Emperor Taizu can spare my life.”
Zhao Kuangyin coldly snorted, and said: “Your ancestors Zhao Guangyi usurped power by stealing the kingdom’s throne, killing each other and killing me. If I were to forgive you today, then where is the logic in this world?”
After Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking, he raised the Coiling Dragon Rod in his hand and was about to smash Zhao Gou to death. Zhao Gou was so frightened that his butt became weak and he fell to the ground, shouting: “Great Ancestor, I am willing to pass on my location to your children, please spare my life.
Zhao Kuangyin retrieved his Coiling Dragon Rod and shouted: “Little brat, are you serious?
Seeing that there was hope, Zhao Gou immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, “Truthfully, I dare not lie to Grand Ancestor, I am willing to take in your seventh grandchild, Uncle Zhao, as my foster son, and pass it down to him in the future.
Seeing that his wish had been fulfilled, Jiang Chu who was the commander of the Soul Summoning Wood, smashed the bed with his staff, immediately smashing the sturdy bed into pieces. The two concubines whined as they rolled on the floor.
One of them screamed in fear and hurriedly pulled a cloth to cover the private part of the bed. It seemed like this woman was faking her unconsciousness.
Zhao Kuangyin coldly snorted and said: “If you dare to lie to me, it’s like this bed. Zhao Gou kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, and agreed.
Just as Jiang Chu was about to put away the Soul Summoning Wood and leave, he suddenly remembered something. As a result, he continued: “Little bastard, listen carefully, Yue Fei is a loyal general, if you dare to harm him, I won’t forgive you.
With that, he waved his hand and the Soul Summoning Wood disappeared. Only Zhao Gou and the two women were left on the ground in a daze.
